in 1986 as a young man, tom mcalister loved kites so much, he opened a mobile kite store in the parking lot of cesar chavez park next to the berkeley arena. >> i thought if i'll try to make a living sharing my passion for kites, i needed to do something to give back to the community. >> reporter: what he gave back was the berkeley kite festival. for the next 33 years, excluding the last two covid years, mostly cloudy alister organized one of the largest urban kite festivals on the planet, but this year, the open meadow was empty. in the corner a few dozen kites flapped in the breeze, an end to the event he devoted his life to create. >> it breaks my heart. it breaks my doggone heart. >> reporter: mcalister canceled the festival because the city more than tripled his permit fee to $45,000 which would have doubled the event's entire budget. the city told him they could no longer subsidize the gathering by providing services like law enforcement, firefighters and custodians for free but beverly griffith thinks that's short-sighted. >> this is what the people need. it's something beautiful
